The Kicks is a new car from Nissan, and it's already entered the auto world with a bold presence. The Kicks is innovative and stands out in many ways, including its top-notch safety equipment. With all the advanced safety aids that it includes, the Kicks has rightfully earned the designation as an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick vehicle in 2024. While being a bold new car on the market is impressive to start with, the Kicks has proven that it has safety technology to meet the IIHS's new, more demanding criteria for cars on the road today.
About the IIHS Top Safety Pick Standards
Based on the new criteria that it requires, earning a top safety pick designation from the IIHS is no small feat. The IIHS has a list of criteria that vehicles must meet to receive an award for the safety features that they offer. To win a top safety pick award, the IIHS requires vehicles to receive at least a "Good" rating in front overlap tests. They must also receive a rating of "Good" in side impact collision testing. Vehicles must also have a "Good" in moderate front impact tests. Vehicles tested must have at least a score of "Acceptable" in front crashes with pedestrians or an even better rating of "Good." Similarly, headlights are also rated as either "Acceptable" or "Good" based on IIHS criteria.
